I guess the site was nonresponsive for a bit.... It's easy to fall into the trap of "Something is still wrong with me even if I know all of this" - we got to specialized doctors as we get older. You'll need to update us on the tests. You stick with the known stuff. The rest is just mind entrapment.

It's breaking down the possibilities. Itching could be nerves, or a skin issue, so something else. It's all about just finding out what is going on. So far, you see to be in clear. What is going on with the mind through all of this? How are you handling it?
-
Make sure you take in the information. If there is health anxiety, you could end up back with all of worry returning, even after you get all the information from the doctors.

It is thinking triggering anxiety. Low B12 levels aren't making it any easier. B12 helps to calm you sown and keep you hydrated.

Your niece doesn't have the thought/reaction patterns that you developed. She didn't have the same consideration or even thinking that you have. That's the interesting thing about those of us who deal with anxiety. We have trained ourselves to see all of this so differently than other people. Then, we work ourselves up. In her mind, she is likely not thinking about getting sick. It'll be like.....she'll only focus on it when it happens.....if it doesn't happen, it won't enter her mind.....like it would us!

The key is getting to know yourself so that when things like this come up, you'll know how to handle it next time.

From what I read, Hanta virus is rare in North America at least. I ran into mouse poo - sprayed it with Lyson disinfectant spray, and then cleaup with gloves. No biggie. You would have already had symptoms. Hyperventilation is anxiety lol.
-
After three weeks, if you had been exposed to rabies, you would have had symptoms by now. As for the "hanta" business as well, the animal would have to have it. That's kind of a stretch. It sounds like the wheezing and asthma could be triggered by stress more than anything.

I am on Anxiety Space, yes, but not Anxiety Zone.
-
I had a feeling that the'd say everything was okay. Stress has a way of messing with our mind. Keep us posted.
-
Yeah, doctors are rushed and can go in tangents. Since the pandemic, it has been just weird. That's good news. Until then, try not to let things worry you. You have a concrete date to go on.
-
Uncertainty will add to anxiety. At least they told you that they would start to monitor. That's good news, Stealth!

Be patient and try to relax.

How often do you go to social events?
Ironman replied to Wonky's topic in Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD)
Yeah - I do at times. I think it is becoming a common issue (with coming out of the pandemic). It depends on the event. If I know the people well, it is not a problem. It's interesting to see what happens when I actually initiate a conversation (small talk), and people are receptive. I think more people have nerves than we think.
